He's BACK! Travis Cook and his ultra conservativeness decide to grace the Q with its presence once again. After months of being banned from the show for claiming he wants to hang the president from a tree.....he's shows back up to start where he left off.First the guys.....well lets just say.... things quickly fall to bad as Mark and Travis start discussing his cheating attempts with Dynamo Pro to win the tag team titles. This eventually devolves into a yelling fit between Mark and Travis regarding his political positioning and his hatred for President Obama.After a cool down period...Mark, producer Bobby, Dan Walsh and Travis get back into the swing of the show. The Olympics are going on and Mark wants to know if the winter or summer olympics is everyone's forte. This leads to some talk about what sports can be killed off from the events. Next the topic of federal rights verse states right comes up regarding guns and an attempt at a law in Missouri to override federal laws regulating them. This starts off a discussion of whether states rights or federal rights came first and a little history lesson from Dan Walsh....booyah!From there it is a hodge podge of conspiracy discussion (as it always is every time a conservative is allowed to talk) and current event stories to talk about amongst equals. Also a great round of GAME ON/GAME OFF with Travis Cook actually supplying one of the more interesting Game Off's we have ever had! Finally a little Overtime where we have the best advice story we have ever read on air and the newest Tournament of Pop Culture: Best Will Ferrell Performance. A must listen to overtime if you are a fan of Will Ferrell.

On this episode of the Q, Mark and Bobby are joined by Charles "Chucky" Anderson, Andy Echele and Dan Walsh!

Charles made a bet with Mark on who would win the NFC Championship game and Charles won. So as payment for the bet, Charles was asked to be guest on the Q and bring whatever he wanted to talk about on the show.

Mark and the guys start by discussing the superbowl bet and Andy's unwillingness to be in a fantasy football league with Mark. From there the focus shifts to black fraternities and some of the Super Bowl commercials that our on the top of each persons list. Upon the heels of that, everyone gets into a discussion about the Coca Cola commercial and whether the message that conservatives are complaining about was really there or not.

Next the men take on the news story about DMX and his challenger in a upcoming celebrity Boxing match. By beating this man, DMX could become the champion of a section of America. Will he pull it off? Also a discussion about little people and the USPS getting into potential BITCOIN atm's.

Finally everyone brings in their GAME ON/GAME OFF for the week. Tax services, Old school video games and disgust towards lottery people and the city of St. Louis is on the table for the largest Game on/Game off that has ever been on the Q!

Podcasters everywhere! On this return from hiatus, Mark invites the guys from Wheel Barrow Full of Dicks to come on his show and join the weekly jaunt into the world of current events and politics (though this episode is sparse on Poli-Sci). He also put the vibe out to Matt Krueger to jump in and the men were off on an exciting adventure.

Mike and Nappier from WFOD start off explaining that they love being in the presence of "THE" Mark Bland (making sure that he adds the "THE") but before long Mark tackles a piece of ranting that he has fondness for...Podcasting vs. Broadcasting . But the conversation takes a weird turn when Mark starts to rant on a food choice that a co-host of WFOD has made when going to Jack in the Box.

From there the men tackle another couple news stories including the severe beating a 13 yr old took at the hands of some kids in Florida and the bus driver just sat there. Also there is a update in the Meremec River Shooting case and the dunking canoers might not have been so docile as they let on they were in the original stories. Ramping up the arguement for self defense and property rights that much more.

Then it is on to the next Tournament of Pop Culture! This time around on the 16-team elimination tournament, the BEST SUSUPENSE MOVIE of ALL TIME is tackled. Who made the list and who got cut? And will one of the contestants chime in for a unprecidented 3rd TOPC win over the past 3 years. Its never been done and this is definitely a powerhouse of a suspense movie.

We are in the mood to teach you about giving to good causes and on this episode of The Q, Mark and Jeremy interview Aaron Rice of Lance's Brewery Tour to discuss his uncles Autism and their attempt to facilitate a tour and writing a book about Breweries of the World through their KickStarter campaign.After that, Mark and Jeremy decide to discuss whether Guantanamo Bay prison should be shut down as the POTUS promised a few years back...this of course leads to a heated discussion and difference of opinion. Finally the guys are joined by Unhappy Bill who blesses them with his gay movie review of The Hobbit. Plus a little talk about upcoming summer movies. All this and so much more on the only midwestern show that is REAL RADIO, REAL HONEST! Its the Q!

HE'S BACKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! Mark's former MMA co-host and always controversial individual Andy Echele jumps in for Justin and fireworks eventually ensue. First off the guys make a run to the sports side of the world to catch up with the CBG (cracker behind the glass) Robb Davis to discuss Alabama winning the BCS Championship game, Hockey making its triumphant return (blah!) and the snubbing of great Baseball players in regards to the Hall of Fame 2013. Then Mark and Andy jump into their old forms to talk a little MMA and the current status of it in 2013, mind you Andy ain't having it DANA WHITE. After all that settles, Andy and Mark graciously discuss the Pussification of the USA via gun laws and everything that Andy can find to throw at the idea. Also the two gents break down some listener emails where a question regarding weird or horrifying happenings from the past jogs Andy's memory on a very graphic situation a "cop friend" once told him about. Its a story to not be missed.
